Little Dart River Ramble and Run

You can run the 17 mile route following the course of the Little Dart River from Rackenford to the confluence with the River Taw at Bridge Reeve, Chulmleigh and in so doing, try to be hotter than our otter (mystery runner). Or you can walk it by yourself, or as part of a group. You'll traverse unknown fields, wooded valleys, footpaths, river crossings, flower meadows and much more. The bisopshere, which partners with Devon Wildlife Trust and Westcountry Rivers Trust has taken the trouble to scope out and gain permission for this route, much of which is on private land and so you'll be gaining exclusive access to trails you won't have followed before. The route will be marked but you'll need your wits about you as the path meanders in and out of sight.
